Trial Outcomes & Findings for Programs To Support You During Chemotherapy (NCT NCT02489422)

NCT ID: NCT02489422

Last Updated: 2022-10-14

Results Overview

Fatigue will be assessed with the 7-item measure of Fatigue from the PROMIS-cancer specifically designed for use in cancer patients. These tests will be evaluated using mixed-effects (or multilevel) generalized linear modeling procedures. Score range 1 - never, 2 - rarely, 3 - sometimes, 4 - often and 5 - always. Total scores can range from 24 to 86, with higher scores indicating greater fatigue.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At 0-2 weeks after start of intervention

Population: Participants analyzed represents the number of participants that completed the analysis and had data for this outcome measure out of the total number of participants for the trial.

Circadian disruption will be assessed with actigraphy. Circadian disruption is defined as a ratio of nighttime activity to daytime activity with higher scores indicating greater circadian disruptions. Summaries of the proportion and frequency of missing daily assessments will inform the feasibility of collecting this type of data.

Circadian disruption will be assessed with measures of activity and rest. Activity will be measured using the 3-item Godin's leisure score index (LSI), previously used with colorectal cancer patients during chemotherapy. Rest will be assessed with the 8-item PROMIS sleep disturbance short-form. Each item on the measure is rated on a 5-point scale (1=never; 2=rarely; 3=sometimes; 4=often; and 5=always) with a range in score from 8 to 40 with higher scores indicating greater severity of sleep disturbance.

Scoring scale range from 1 - never, 2 - rarely, 3 - sometimes, 4 - often and 5 - always. The higher the score the more depressive the symptoms. Scores on the short form range from 10 to 81.3; 10-55 is "normal", 55.1-59.9 "mild", 60-64.25 "moderate", and over 64.26 "severe" depression.

Timeframe: At baseline, 8 weeks, 10 weeks and 14 weeks after start of intervention

Psychological stress will be assessed by the 10-item PSS. The PSS has 2 factors (stress and counter stress). Scoring scale range from 0 - never, 1 - almost never, 2 - sometimes, 3 - fairly often and 4 - very often. Score range is 0-40. A higher score represents more of the concept being measured.

Regulation of psychological stress will be assessed daily with the 3-item serenity subscale (calm, relaxed, at ease) from the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule-Expanded Form. Each item is rated on a five-point Likert Scale, ranging from 1 = Very Slightly or Not at all to 5 = Extremely. Positive Affect Score: Scores can range from 10 - 50, with higher scores representing higher levels of positive affect and lower scores representing lower levels of negative affect.

Regulation of psychological stress will be determined by ratings on four of the seven factors of the Cancer Behavior Inventory, which assess self-efficacy for stress management, coping with treatment-related side-effects, accepting cancer/maintaining positive attitude, and affective regulation. Scale ranged from 1-9 (1 - 3 not at all confident; 4-6 moderately confident and 7-9 totally confident). 4 of the 7 items from the Cancer Behavior Inventory (V2.0) were used with each item's score ranges from 0-50 with higher scores indicating more confidence in the item.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At 14 weeks after start of intervention

Population: As per the protocol, this outcome was intended to be combined after all other data collection is complete to solicit feedback as a group on the acceptability of data collection methods, the participants' experience with both the interventions (e.g., expected efficacy, what was useful), and barriers and facilitators to home practice. It was not intended to be separated but as overall feedback.

Qualitative feedback will be assessed with a semi-structured interview conducted after completion of all assessments. Qualitative information gained will enrich quantitative results and inform the protocol of a larger trial.
